On Saturday, the Belding competitive cheer team will finally be able to perform in front of a home audience.

After having to cancel the Belding Cheer Invitational the last four years due to lack teams, the Redskins were able to draw four varsity, two JV and two middle school squads to town for the event.

"The girls are very excited about hosting the competition this year," Belding coach Stacy Venneman said. "This will probably be the only time for many of their family members and friends to come out and watch them compete.

"Our new facilities are fantastic. I am hoping the teams that come out here on Saturday like them and maybe that will help draw more teams next year."

Along with the Redskins, varsity squads from Kelloggsville, Sparta, Union City and Lowell will be taking part. Lowell and Sparta are also expected to bring their JV and middle school squads as well.
